If you are a Tampa Bay area HR, Talent Acquisition or OD professional...

Our Veterans Need Your Help

The Need

5.1%

The 2016 unemployment rate for veterans who served in active duty at any time since September 2001 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

4.0%

The June 2017 unemployment rate in Hillsborough County according to the Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation.

We can close this gap.​

We believe thereis no reason these very talented and capable veterans should not be hired into great positions and begin meaningful corporate or business careers.

All they need is a little boost from the HR community and employers who are willing to look at their experience in a transferrable way.

That's where you come in.....​

The Challenges Our Veterans Face

Where to start and how best to focus their search

Explaining how their military skills translate to a civilian work environment

Building a professional network on LinkedIn and networking skills in live events

But the biggest of all is having someone "on the inside" to coach them and be a sounding board throughout their job search process.

That's why we have partnered with Tampa Bay VetNet to address this gap.

We would love it if you joined us.
